THE LATEST FASHION IN Girls.

They Must be lSRshlnE and strong,

A New York exchange says 1.-THE
proper thing in girls this year is dashing
and straight and strong. She greets man
kind with an impressive stare as she
strides aloag the street with her chin in
the air, her shoulders well back and her
arms swinging to and fro. This season
settled it, The opera brought society
back, and the proper girl came romping
home with flashing eyes aud the ruddy
glow of perfect health showing through
the nut brown tan of the summers cam
paigu, The clinging girl with the tender
eyes, the romantic girl with the yearning
glare, the domestic girl with the purring
voice, the brilliant girl with her turgid
French, the smuggling girl with her artful
smirk, and the girl who chung to the skirts
OF mamma they are gone. They went
away in flutter with timorous screams
at the snort of the engine and the rush of
the bur1y world.
Nov they've come back, but they Ire not
the same. Instead, there's an army of
lofty, gay intrepid, meddlesome and
dashing girls, who swagger abroad with
delicious feminine audacity, and who have
brought the breeze of the mountain too,
the salty flavor of the oceans edge and
the bouyant air of Berkehire hills into the
very heart of dirty, dusty and stale New
York. or all the types that the town has
seen, the girl of to-day, with her L4igh
bred look, her daring 'tyle and winsdMs

to give an official reprimand to young

Raaster of acceptance.
Under the title of "Creed and Accept
ance" the New York Mail and Ezprtss
said editorially The trial OF the Andover
professors Is now under WAY and Prof.
Dwight Of tho Columbia Law School. who
is one of the counsel for the accused, and
Prof. Smyth himself one Of the accused,
yesterday made elaborate speeches for the
defence. The point al issue is whether
the professors have been guilty of o
breach of good faith in subscribing to a
certain creed and then teaching something
different from and antagonistic to that
creed.
II is evident now, from the speeches
made by Prof Smyth and his counsel,
that the decision will turn partly upon
the doctrine of creed acceptance held by
the court TO be essential or allowable
1t Ia only in comparatively recent years
that any such thing as u doctrine OF creed
acceptance has been necessary or even
possible. When the creeds were made
people either believed them or not, and
that was all there was to il but In this
more analytical age we must discriminate
between different degrees of belief. A
man may believe part Of creed abso-
lutely and the rest tentatively or he may
believe part of it in cass he is allowed to
oonstrue certain word or phrase in a
certain peculiar sense.
Some of our churches notably the
Protestant Episcopal-are extremely
liberal in their requirements as to creed
acceptance, and manage to hold together
in sort of unity men of the most diverse
views as to doctrines that were once
deemed fundamental. But this story of
accepting creed has not yet been re-
ceiyed favorably in the Congregational
Church, and it remains to be seen
whether the board OF visitors will put
this new elastic Interpretation OH a creed
that was meant, at the time Of its COM
position, not to be elastic 1t may do so
very possibly. The theory of creed CON
| struction has changed. In olden times
they were made to as to be sure to shut
everybody out who did not certainly be.
long to the fold. Now they are made SO
as to he sure to take everybody in who
does not very certainly belong outside.

TnoY. Jan. 19.-This afternoon at q
resort In this city Patrick Morrissey Of
Philadelphia and James Hughes Of this
eity entertained select crowd with q
lively fight, Marquis Of Queensberry rules,
for stakes OF 500 side.
When time was called there was very
little sparring for an opening, each OF the
pugilists seeming DESTROYS OF ending the
battle. Hughes was the first &c lead, but
the blow fell short, and Morriasey landed
a rib shaker with a swinging right hand
blow. Before the round closed he put in
two more blows ON the same spot, while
Hughes made Morrissey's head the OBJ
jectiye point.
In the second round morrissey de-
livered swinging blows on the same spot
on the body Ut every opportunity, while
Hughes, to avoid them AZ much as possi-
BILE, resorted to short arm lighting, and
pounded Morrissey's head and face. The
same tactics prevailed in the third round,
and it was evident that the body blows
we're beginning to tell on Hughes, but he
kept hammering away at Morrissey's head
and face, drawing the claret freely.
Before the fourth round could begin
the police put an end to the fight, which
was declared draw. Another effort will
be made to bring the men together.
